Ingredients for Another Cajun Spice Mix

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)

How to Make Another Cajun Spice Mix

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
  2. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
  3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
